Over the next few days, all sorts of rumors spread like wildfire in various parts of the Blue Dragon Mountain Range.
"Have you heard? Someone entered the deepest level of the Green Ruins, stayed there for a long time, and walked out safely."
"Have you heard? There's a mysterious treasure in the deepest level of the Green Ruins. Last night, someone barged in and obtained the treasure, then ran away with it."
"Have you heard? The Blue Dragon King in the deepest level of the Green Ruins has been revived and walked out of the Green Ruins. Now, he's being protected by Blue Dragon College. I heard that they're going to hold the Regal Ceremony again soon."
"Have you heard? An Immortal has entered the Green Ruins and revived the Azure Dragon King who died there. He even got rid of all the monsters in the deepest layer of the Green Ruins and obtained a huge treasure. He's about to ascend to the Immortal Realm."
The more the rumors spread, the more ridiculous they became. Soon, there were several versions. Among them, the versions of "Return of the King" and "Descent of the Immortal" were the most popular and received the most attention.
As for the truth …
"B * stard!
Who exactly is that kid?! "
Taoist Master Huang Long, who was temporarily acting as the dean of Blue Dragon College, looked at the Shadow Recording Stone in his hand over and over again. However, he still couldn't see the true appearance of the mysterious participant through the hazy fog.
Even he didn't have time to react to the flash of the Illusion Special Ability. By the time he wanted to perform an immortal art to investigate, the suspect had already disappeared without a trace.
If not for someone who was smart enough to use the precious Shadow Recording Stone, he wouldn't even know what the other party looked like.
However, the Shadow Recording Stone could only record a fixed image. It was impossible to see the other party's true appearance through the recorded image.
Was there a need to hide his true appearance?
It's not like I'm going to eat you. Taoist Master Huang Long was furious when he saw the young man's figure disappear in a flash in the hazy fog.
He swore to the heavens that he had no intention of harming this mysterious young man. Instead, he wanted to reward him handsomely.
No matter who he was or where he came from, just the fact that he was able to enter the ninth level of the Green Ruins and come out unscathed was enough to make him a peerless genius who could shake the Myriad Seas and Mountains.
What kind of place was the ninth layer of the Green Ruins? It was a forbidden death zone where a Blue Dragon King had fallen, and it was the graveyard of countless great cultivators. To this day, no one knew the true face of its ruler. They only knew that it was a monster that possessed supreme mystical abilities.
Under the restrictions of the secret realm's Laws, the number of people who entered would be the same as the number of people who died. Being able to enter the ninth level and come out unscathed represented a shocking talent. Just this point alone would allow one to become a guest of any of the great powers in the Myriad Seas Mountain Range.
According to the Three Canghai Brothers and the fleeting figure in the record, this mysterious participant who had entered the Green Ruins Ninth Level and escaped unscathed was actually a young man who was not even twenty years old.
What kind of concept was that?
Even if he had gained nothing in the ninth level, the mysterious young man's ability to overcome all obstacles and enter the ninth level of the Green Ruins Ninth Level showed that he already possessed all of the legendary peerless geniuses.
For him to possess such abilities before the age of twenty, it was clear that this young man had inherited some kind of supreme mystical ability. Otherwise, there was no way this miracle could be explained. The cultivation of celestial techniques had to be done step by step. Only those who had awakened the mystical bloodline of the primordial chaos that only existed in legends could possess such abilities at such a young age.
In order to find traces of this mysterious participant, Daoist Priest Huang Long's hair had turned white over the past few days. Unfortunately, it was as if this mysterious participant had popped out from a rock. There was no trace of him that could be traced at all.
This was simply unbelievable. That kind of peerless charm that could not be concealed even though it was shrouded in mist was unforgettable to anyone who saw it. How could there be no traces left behind?
Which corner of the Myriad Seas Mountain Range did this peerless genius come from?
Right now, other than knowing that this was a young man who was no more than twenty years old, and that it was very likely that he had awakened the Blue Dragon bloodline that only appeared once in ten thousand years, Daoist Priest Huang Long had no other information.
If even he, the vice dean of Blue Dragon College, who was the local tyrant, felt this way, the other forces were even more confused. If it were not for the irrefutable evidence, perhaps many people would have thought that this was just a farce.
However, this was an irrefutable fact after all. Therefore, the news that a person who had awakened the Blue Dragon bloodline had appeared among the 999 Dragon Jade recipients of the Blue Dragon Cry this time spread like wildfire. Very soon, it caused a huge uproar.
After all, it was a person who had awakened the Blue Dragon bloodline that only appeared once in ten thousand years. It was almost certain that he would become a candidate for the king of the Blue Dragon. Finding this person in advance was almost equivalent to finding a future king of the Blue Dragon.
Even if there was an accident, and the person who had awakened the Blue Dragon bloodline of this generation didn't ascend to the throne, the Blue Dragon bloodline that he had was still priceless.
How could the rich and noble families in the East, who would even put in great effort to fight for the person who had awakened the Blue Dragon bloodline? After the news of the appearance of the person who had awakened the Blue Dragon bloodline spread, it was destined that there would be a fierce battle — the battle of marrying off their daughter.
In an unknown little river in the Blue Dragon Mountains, a blood-colored crystal was quietly sleeping in the deepest part of the river.
In the crystal that was filled with blood-colored veins, Mei Xue was dreaming.
In the dream, she was extremely powerful, and no one could stop her.
Giant spiders, giant blood-patterned pythons that were dozens of meters long, were cut one by one.
Blood monsters that could change their forms, and sharp shadows that were charging at her from all directions were all cut into pieces.
Finally, there was the giant nine-headed serpent that caused the monstrous waves of blood and controlled the endless sea of blood. It was a descendant of the divine blood that was comparable to the Sen Luo of the Nine Serenities, a monster that truly stood at the top of the mountains and seas.
The silver crystal sword pierced through everything, and under the sword, heaven and earth were destroyed.
Then, he saw a familiar thing in the corner of his memory. It was an ancient memory that was like a dusty pearl.
"Green Wood above me, Eternal Spring, give this to …"
To whom?
Who did he carve it for? The Longevity Tablet that he had personally made?
He couldn't remember anymore. When he waved the sword of wisdom, everything had become the past. Only the words on the longevity wooden tablet seemed to be telling him something.
When Mei Xue was lost and confused, the Bodhi Wisdom Sword in his heart emitted a golden light. That was the light of wisdom, the light of freedom.
"Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, when practicing the Prajna Paramita … form is emptiness, emptiness is form … It is the emptiness of all dharmas, neither born nor destroyed, neither tainted nor pure …"
Yes, he had already forgotten and let go of it.
Mei Xue grasped the sword of wisdom, and the look in his eyes became peaceful.
Since he had already forgotten, why mention it again?
Those who abandon me, yesterday's day cannot be kept.
Those who disturb my mind, today's day will be more troublesome.
If you cut water with a knife, it will flow even more. If you drink to drown your worries, it will only make you more worried.
So, cut it. Use this Bodhi Wood Sword, the supreme treasure of Buddhism — the Great Freedom Sword of Wisdom.
The golden light of Buddha flashed, and the trace of feelings that had just arisen in Mei Xue's heart was once again cut away by the Great Freedom Sword of Wisdom, leaving no trace behind.
This was the power of the Great Freedom Sword of Wisdom, the supreme treasure of Buddhism that cut away inner demons, feelings, and all invisible barriers in one's heart.
At the entrance of the Qing Xu Secret Realm, Liu, who was still waiting expectantly for Mei Xue, suddenly felt a pain in his heart, as if something very precious had been eliminated.
It was something that no one could see or grasp. It was the thread of love that connected the hearts of lovers, the red thread of marriage.
Silently, tears streamed down Liu's face. The Longevity Wooden Tablet in his hand also seemed to have lost its warmth.
"Ding!" In the clear river water, the blood-colored crystal shattered. Mei Xue opened his eyes.
His eyes were calm and calm, without any perplexity or stubbornness. They were the eyes of a Dao cultivator, the eyes of a genius who cultivated immortal techniques.
Focus and unity. The countless patterns of the Great Dao that appeared were the best proof.
The ripples in the river quietly parted, and Mei Xue, who had digested his new power in the river, walked out in a relaxed manner.
"This is … my power …" Mei Xue looked at his palm. His seemingly slender palm contained the power of Qi and Blood that surpassed a monster's level.
In the Qing Xu Secret Realm, he was not himself at the same time. Naturally, he did not possess that kind of battle awareness and experience, and it was impossible for him to unleash that Supreme Heaven Sword.
That was the form that was born from the perfect combination of the memories of the "Tiantai" and the "Sen Luo Flower" he had eaten. It could be seen as the form he would take after mastering the supreme divine ability in the future.
The life force of the Seed of the Netherworld was not tolerated in this world, so it could only be used once. After sensing his desire to become stronger from the bottom of his heart, the Classic of Mountains and Seas helped him for the first time. It showed him his future form and opened the path of the Great Dao that belonged to him.
The earth-shattering battle with the giant nine-headed snake in the deepest part of the Green Ruins was to seize what he needed to become stronger — the Life Force Origin that came from a descendant of the Divine Blood from the Primordial Age.
Those beads of blood were the perfect form of the Life Force Origin.
After absorbing those beads of blood, his body was more than ten times stronger than before he had entered the Green Ruins. Furthermore, there were even more beads of blood hidden in his body. There were thousands of tiny beads of blood hidden under his seemingly weak palm.
Each of the blood droplets represented a terrifying amount of vital energy. If he detonated all of the blood droplets in his body, he would probably be able to turn the entire Azure Dragon Mountain Range upside down. Everything within a radius of ten thousand kilometers would collapse.
Of course, he would also be smashed to pieces if he did that. Therefore, this was his final method of perishing together with his opponent.
The power of the million beads of blood provided him with endless power of blood and strengthened his body step by step. Eventually, he would step into the realm of supreme divine ability.
It could be said that the current tenfold strengthening was just an insignificant starting point. The million beads of blood would eventually fuse with his body. When that time came, he would possess the supreme divine ability that completely surpassed Elder Black Fox and Qingqiu Xuanming.
"Xiao Jiu, give me some time." Mei Xue smiled as the figure of the mischievous and cute little fox appeared in her mind.
From now on, his fate would not be in anyone's hands.
He was Mei Xue, the owner of the Classic of Mountains and Seas. He was a powerhouse who was going to travel through all the seas and mountains.
